We all know Elon Musk is one of the smartest and most innovative minds of our time. He’s a true renaissance man, and the list of ways he’s improved the world feels almost endless. From revolutionizing the auto industry with Tesla to his groundbreaking ventures in space and technology, Musk has been a force for good. And let’s not forget his game-changing purchase of Twitter and unwavering support of President Trump, which likely helped steer the US away from total collapse. Elon didn’t just talk the talk—he put his name, reputation, and money on the line when it mattered most, and for that, we are forever grateful.

That said, even visionaries make mistakes. After all, they’re human, too. The concern many have right now stems from a rumor suggesting that Tesla is “hiding” job listings in print newspapers, where nobody is going to see them, so Tesla can legally qualify to hire their visa H-1B employees quickly, in some hope of getting ahead of any restrictions that might come under Trump’s America First administration. Again, as we stated, Elon has been a staunch advocate for innovation and excellence, so this move, if true, would raise many concerns about the impact on American workers and the broader message it sends.
It’s no secret that Elon Musk is a big fan of the H-1B program, which puts him at odds with the core principles of the America First movement. Don’t get us wrong—we’re incredibly grateful for everything Elon has done to support Trump and fight for free speech. He’s made some amazing contributions, and we’re not taking anything away from that. But we can’t just gloss over the fact that hiring foreign workers over Americans is a real issue. To ignore it would fly in the face of everything America First stands for.
The fire started when Amanda Louise, an America First advocate, called out Musk and Tesla when she happened upon several job listings for the company in a newspaper. She suggested that Elon was “hiding” these jobs from Americans, so they could hire more foreign workers. When reporter Neil Munro saw the post, he described the situation as a “dilemma” for the media. Sure, if true, they could take a shot at Musk and Trump for a “contradiction,” but to do so, they’d also have to acknowledge that the outsourcing conservatives have been warning about is, in fact, a real issue.
This is a dilemma for top editors in estb. media:
A chance to slam Musk & expose a Trump contradiction — but only if they describe the outsourcing of Fortune 500 white-collar careers by H1B visa migration.
I'd guess many reporters want to cover this. https://t.co/iSUiOI1dvZ https://t.co/K4vNhReK2O— Neil Munro (@NeilMunroDC) November 25, 2024
Here’s a closeup of the images:
Musk supporters argue that companies like Tesla are legally required to publish job listings in certain outlets, like newspapers. And while that’s true, it’s also a convenient loophole. Companies post these job ads in obscure newspapers, then hire loads of foreign workers while claiming, “No Americans applied.” Well, of course they didn’t—most Americans never even saw the ad. See how this game is played?
In the US there’s no federal law that requires companies to post job openings in newspapers. However, certain regulations and programs do call for specific advertising methods, and newspaper postings can sometimes be part of the mix.
You are required to place a job ad in 2 Sunday editions of a local newspaper with wide circulation in the area of intended employment. So, if the position will take place in Miami, your ad should be in the Miami Herald or a paper with similar recognition.
If the position is in a rural area which does not have a Sunday edition, the employer should use the newspaper that has the widest circulation.
The PERM ad requirements state that the ad must include:
- Your business name
- Instructions detailing where applications and resumes should be sent
- A general overview of the position that gives potential applicants a good idea of what is entailed
- Possible mitigating factors such as job location and/or travel percentages
The America First agenda doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to foreign workers—if anything, this is a cornerstone issue of the entire movement.
#MAGA won’t mean America made great again if Silicon Valley CEOs keep replacing Americans with foreign workers and people like @elonmusk push for more green cards. It’s time to prioritize Americans.

Many Musk supporters argue that these jobs are posted on popular platforms like LinkedIn and other widely used job-seeking websites, which are standard for corporate America. But let’s be real—those platforms are often riddled with spam and scams, which is why many people avoid them altogether. So the question remains—are these listings simply a formality, designed to check a box and pacify the powers that be?

Critics of the H-1B visa process are questioning why Elon didn’t advertise these job openings on his hugely popular platform, X. If he’s truly aligned with the America First agenda, posting there could reach a much broader audience—including plenty of Americans who don’t read the newspaper or rely on job sites that, let’s be honest, are often riddled with spam and scams.
That said, Tesla hasn’t traditionally used X or social media for hiring. But in light of Elon’s push to support America First, a gesture like that could go a long way in showing his commitment to prioritizing American workers.
Tesla primarily advertises job openings through its official careers page and other professional job platforms. While Elon Musk owns X (formerly Twitter), Tesla’s recruitment efforts are not exclusively conducted there.
Elon Musk has done incredible things for innovation and free speech, but his support and use of the H-1B program don’t exactly line up with the America First agenda. Let’s be honest—prioritizing foreign workers over Americans is the kind of globalist mentality that got us into this mess in the first place. If Elon truly wants to be a champion of the American spirit, he should embrace every part of the America First movement, especially foundational issues like hiring American workers. That’s how you lead by example—building not just companies but also a stronger, more united nation.
